"I don't know what kind of girl I am."
I'd like to say I know what I want to be when I grow up and where my life is headed, but I can't.
When questions like this show up at the beginning of each school year and the teacher wants to know who I am and what I want to do with my life, I have no idea what to write. Usually, I write impressive things I have done like skydiving or getting tattoos. Or I write about my family (2 parents and a 16 year old sister) and things I like to do like; swimming, facebook and myspace, friends and watching movies.
I always want to write something super creative and entertaining to the reader, but at this moment nothing comes to mind.
What do I write about myself that I would want my teacher reading and anyone else who happens to fall across it? My favorite movies? Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion. Favorite band? I don't really have one but more like a top five: Led Zep, ACDC, Skynard, Queen, and Relient K (don't ask). What my career goals are? Basically, I want to work for Seventeen magazine or a publication extremely similar.
Anyways, since I don't know what to write up there, I guess I'll skip to the part about my relationship with journalism.
Well, I was Managing Editor and Editor-in-chief of my high school newspaper, my Junior and Senior year of high school. I have only recently become interested in Journalism and not positive it's the right field of work for me. So far, I like Journalism for these reasons: I like seeing the finished publication and seeing my name on the front page. I like the variety of topics a publication can hold and the variety of people who read them.
I hope I picked the right major, being Journalism, because I have NO idea what I would do if I didn't succeed. Probably youth ministry.
So...until next time,
Peace, Love and _______(fill in the blank)
